Hotels in der Nähe von Omanthe, Gent

The location is fantastic! There is a tram stop right outside and you can easily walk to most major attractions. We really enjoyed the variety of options at breakfast. Note: It is an older hotel that creaks and cracks and the shower pressure wasn't always 100% but it has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Das Hotelzimmer ist immer noch sehr sauber und ordentlich. 2 Personen wohnen in einem Doppelbett und einem Einzelbett. Es gibt keinen Kühlschrank und kein Trinkwasser im Zimmer. Das einzig schlechte ist, dass man für die Gepäckaufbewahrung nicht bezahlen muss kostenlose Anzahlung. Aber dieses Hotel ist trotzdem einen Aufenthalt wert, da es im Zentrum des Einkaufszentrums liegt und es daher sehr bequem ist, überall hinzugehen

Overall, this hotel disappointed me greatly. I had chosen it partly because it was advertised as being convenient to public transit. Not so. The #1 tram, which my reservation confirmation mentioned as an easy way to reach the hotel, has been out of service for a while now and will remain so for the next four years while the city renovates the route. Yet the hotel's final communication with me, just before my arrival, failed to mention this. This caused me no end of trouble. But it was also typical; I never felt that I was in a hospitable hotel where anyone cared about my comfort or convenience or even whether I enjoyed my stay. The proprietor, who does everything from making the beds to setting out the breakfast to staffing the office, gave the impression that beyond his considerable responsibilities, he had no time or energy for anything but the absolute minimum. Luckily, the people of Ghent welcome visitors, and it was thanks to them that I enjoyed the city at all. Despite the physical signs of wear and tear, the Erasmus Hotel has some charm. One afternoon, I was returning from a museum visit and heard someone play the antique organ on the premises, and someone singing lieder to it. I've also never eaten breakfast in the shadow of a suit of armor. Nevertheless, I wish I'd stayed somewhere else.

Lo bueno: Lo mejor de este hotel es la ubicación. En 5/10 minutos llegas al centro dando un agradable paseo. El edificio está bien conservado y tiene su encanto. El personal es muy amable. Lo malo: La habitación nos resultó excesivamente pequeña. Muy agobiante y calurosa. En la reserva constaba ”Individual de uso doble” pero aún así no deberían ofrecer habitaciones tan pequeñas para dos personas. No había apenas sitio para movernos o poder abrir la maleta. La cama muy blanda, también las almohadas, que parecían cojines. En cuanto al calor, no había aire acondicionado pero tampoco podías abrir la ventana porque al estar al lado de un canal se colaban muchos mosquitos. Esto no es culpa del hotel, pero podrían poner mosquiteras.

Das Hotel liegt zentral. Daher sind die touristischen Ziele, Geschäfte und Restro's gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Durch die Tramhaltestelle vor dem Hotel besteht eine gute Verbindung zum Bahnhof Sint-Pieters. Das Zimmer war ein typische „Ibis-Zimmer“ und wie immer bei Ibis sehr sauber. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich, dass trotz Coronaregeln das Frühstück sehr angenehm und gut war! Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt war ich ausgesprochen zufrieden!

Omdat wij in België bij ons uitstapjes in het weekend steeds gebruik maken van het openbaar vervoer (trein-tram-bus) kozen wij voor dit hotel dat op amper 300 meter van het Sint-Pieters Station in Gent gelegen is. Aldaar aangekomen kunnen wij ons dan onmiddellijk opfrissen en met de tram de mooiste plekjes in Gent gaan verkennen en genieten van een diner in de tal van goede restaurants dat Gent rijk is. Het eerste wat ons opviel in dit hotel was het zeer vriendelijk onthaal aan de balie. Wij hadden verder ook een ruime, mooie en hygiënische kamer met alles erop en eraan. Zeer belangrijk was ook de rustige ligging, niettegenstaande de korte afstand van het station. Wij genoten er ook nog van een uitgebreid en lekker ontbijt met een uitstekende service (vb. een afzonderlijke kaart waarbij u kan kiezen uit enkele eiergerechten die à la minute worden klaargemaakt! Kortom daar gaan we zeker nog terug.

A little disappointed with the decor, quite run down and desperate for a refurbishment staff on the other hand were excellent and very attentive. Unfortunately being of low cost, attracts some of the wrong sort of clientele, too! We suffered with noisy people partying until 2am when we finally decided enough was enough and tried ringing reception, phone didn’t work, so personal visit to reception sorted the issue. Non-smoking rooms, stunk of smoke. Otherwise clean and reasonable beds. Breakfast was ok.

Alles in allem ein schöner Aufenthalt, die Zimmer sind sehr geräumig. An der Sauberkeit gibt es absolut nichts auszusetzen. Das Bett ist eher etwas weicher, das ist aber persönliches empfinden. Das Frühstücksbuffet lässt keine Wünsche offen, alles war frisch und ausreichend vorhanden. Durch die nahe Anbindung zur Autobahn gut zu erreichen. Und mit den öffentlichen Verkehrmitteln ist man in ca. 30 Minuten in der Genter Innenstadt.

When it comes to thinking of places to visit in Belgium, the town of Aalter in East Flanders, probably isn't the first place to spring to mind. Granted it doesn't have the charm of the Belgian coast, or the bustling hubbub of the larger, more tourist-oriented attractions, but its central location halfway between the cities of Gent and Brugge make it an great place from which to explore. The 4-star Best Western Hotel Orchidee in the center of Aalter provides an ideal base where you can plan your explorations. Aalter train station is a 15 minute walk away, and from there you can catch one of the regular trains to Gent or Brugge, with either journey taking half an hour. Alternatively, as the E40 motorway is just a few hundred meters from the hotel, both cities are accessible by car in around 20 minutes. I stayed at Hotel Orchidee for 3 nights just after Easter, 2022. The earliest check in is 2pm, and so this was the time I designated upon booking. (A word of caution for those hoping for a late check in. The reception desk closes at 11pm.) I arrived at the hotel at 2:05pm and was greeted by Piet, the hotel manager, who told me that my room would be ready in 10 minutes. There are several facets that I would expect from front of house staff - especially the manager - of a 4-star hotel. One of these is that they should be well groomed, besuited preferably, but nevertheless tidy in appearance. After all, they represent the hotel, a guest's first impression of what they might expect; and as the saying goes ”You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.” My first impression of Piet was that he was someone for whom sartorial elegance was not a phrase he was familiar with, with one too many buttons open on his creased shirt and apparent indecision on whether said shirt should be tucked in his trousers or not. Still he was amiable enough and pointed to the spacious, well-appointed bar off to the right of reception, where I could wait for my room. Whilst waiting, in addition to noting that the bar staff were better attired than the manager, I had time to peruse the menu, and discovered that a hungry guest could choose from crisps, nuts, a plate of cheese and salami, or a Croque Monsieur. Not exactly what I would expect from a 4-star hotel kitchen. I would later discover that the reason for this limited dining experience is due to the fact that the hotel does not employ a chef. Piet the manager is apparently chief, cook, and bottle washer, which probably explains why room service is not offered. My room was on the second floor overlooking the car park (which incidentally provides free parking, except on Saturdays when the Farmers Market is held), and no fewer than six bottle banks that are almost constantly in use throughout the day. If, like 1970s singer-songwriter Nick Lowe you ”love the sound of breaking glass”, this will make you feel right at home, otherwise it's somewhat irksome. The room was spacious enough, clean, with modern decor and
